After Joe Flacco threw two interceptions on back-to-back drives in the opening six minutes of the game, it felt like the Bills should run away with the lead. But, after scoring on their next three drives, Indianapolis found their stride.
The Bills have looked uneasy to start this game. Josh Allen has thrown an interception in his third straight game and the options downfield haven’t been ideal. After Dalton Kincaid went to the locker room in the second quarter with a knee injury and is questionable to return, the Bills could be without three of their main receiving core.
For the Colts, they are getting almost anything they want on the ground. Aside from some short distance stops, Johnathan Taylor has seen great success in the rushing game. Taylor has 107 rushing yards while the Bills only have 57.
Josh Allen is the main reason as to why the Bills are leading by a touchdown at halftime. A superb pass to Mack Hollins in the dying seconds of the half set up a Tyler Bass field goal as time expired. And, a draw-play rush by Allen saw him tie the franchise-record in rushing touchdowns with 57.
As the Colts will get the ball to start the half, the Bills will need more discipline in order to walk away with the first win in Indianapolis since 1998.

Hello, and welcome back to another gameday coverage with me, Evan.
Today’s matchup sees the 7-2 Buffalo Bills face off against the 4-5 Indianapolis Colts. The Bills are coming off 4-straight wins and are walking into Lucas Oil Stadium looking to make it five. On the other side of the field, the Colts are on a 2-game losing streak.
Both these teams will be without top receivers as Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman are out for the Bills and Michael Pittman and Anthony Gould are out for the Colts.
Joe Flacco will once again get the start for Indianapolis after deciding to bench 1st-round pick Anthony Richardson.
Both teams have shown plenty of life in their running game. Bills fans will remember the last time Buffalo went up against Jonathan Taylor, as he had 185 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. However, James Cook has been equally as dominant this year, and will be a key piece in todays game.
